NEW DIRECTORS ELECTED
Constructive Campaign Is Urged by
Manager in Address at Annual
Session to Promote AVider Vse
of Their Products.
Representatives of the leading in
dustries of Portland, at their annual
meeting last night at the Multnomah
Hotel, changed the name of their or
ganization from the Manufacturers' As
sociation of the Northwest and adopted
a new constitution under the name the
Oregon Manufacturers' Association. The
action was taken as a step in a more
vigorous campaign in behalf of the use
of Oregon-made goods.
Directors were elected as follows:
One-year term, Ijave Dunn, Henry Con
ner. A. J. Klngsley and A. M. Harri
dan; two-year term, A. E. Gantenbein,

T. S. Mann.
The directors will hold their first
meeting the second Tuesday in Feb
ruary and at that time will elect a
president, vice-president and secretary
for the ensuing year.
R. W. Raymond, who was selected
manager for the association January 1,
pave an address urging that the cam
paign In the coming year to promote
wider use of Oregon-made goods be
"constructive rather than destructive."
"Instead of criticising the man we
find wearing clothes not made of Ore
gon goods," he said, "let us rather pat
the man who does wear Oregon, goods
on the back and thereby encourage
others to imitate him."
New Plan In Announced.
Mr. Raymond announced a new plan
In the "Oregon made" campaign in a
suggestion to place in every building
constructed of Oregon materials a
bronze plate with the name of the Ore
gon Manufacturers' Association and a
suitable recognition of the man who
owns the building and the contractor
who erects it.
Mr. Raymond also urged that greater
interest should be shown in the "made
in Oregon banquets." which are being
given from time to time by women's
clubs in, different parts of the state.
He announced that a banquet will be
given by the women of Morrow County
Saturday, and urged that as many of
the members of the organization as
possible attend. A special excursion is
planned for the occasion.
President T. S. Mann in his annual
report reviewed the campaign for the
wider use of Oregon-made goods and
commended the press of the state for
its assistance in the work and the Panama-Pacific
Commission of Oregon for
its policy recently adopted of using
Oregon material in the state buildings
at San Francisco.
Mrs. Edith Tozler Weatherred, field
secretary of the association, who has
been working throughout the state for
the past year, sent in a report indicat
ing widespread and growing Interest
among the women's clubs and women's
auxiliaries to the commercial bodies
of the state. She urged that members
of the association as much as possible
attend the meetings .held by the women
in different parts of the state and do
everything in their power to assist in
the movement after it is established

J. Ji. Teal In Speaker.
J. N. Teal, the only honorary mem
ber of the association, and Colonel
David M. Dunne, pioneer member of
the association, were speakers.
"Manufacturers in the West," said
Mr. Teal, "have not only my greatest
admiration for their ability, but my
profoundest respect for their courage.
They have to go through the same ex
periences as the early pioneers in any
undertaking.
"But I see, or think I see, a very
great future for this country," he con
tinued, "not only for its manufacturers.
.but for all or us.
Mr. Teal safd that he believed there
is a growing better feeling between
those who represent the transportation
facilities, and those who create the
transportation.
lie recalled the beginnings of the
association 19 years ago, declaring that
the policy of Eastern manufacturers
then, as now, was to dump their sur
plus product on the Pacific Coast, cut
ting prices so that it was almost lm
possible for an Oregon manufacturer
to exist. ,.. -,:
Colonel Dunne expressed the opinion
tnat the Manufacturers Association
has done more to build up Portland
and Oregon than any other organiza-
xion, ana advocated the Holding of a
manufacturers' fair this year.

Oregon luncheon, followed by made-in

BURGLAR'S BAD LUCK GOOD
Robber, Scared Away, Saved From
Entering Lion's Den.
A burglar at Washington Park prob
ably does not realize how lucky It was
for him that while he was tampering
with a lock on one of the buildings
at the zoo in the park early yesterday
he was frightened away by the night
watchman. He thought he was break
ing into a shed where all the food for
the animals is kept, while as a matter
of fact he was working on the lock
leading Into the pen of "Nero," the
African Hon.
After the watchman had frightened
the man away an investigation was
made and it was found that within
few minutes the burglar would have
finished his work to such an extent
that he could have crawled in through
the door. rero was asleep on the

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13. (Spe

Father Rlcard, the "Padre of the

"There will be violent earthquakes

said.
"It will be well to warn the peo
ple of the Middle West of the dis

"There will be no especial disturb

weather, some big winds over the
sea and along the Coast. There
will also be rain storms."

the great bulk of the population.
People Deeply Moved.
The tragedy of the south, whoee
measure may only be guessed at this
time, has deeply moved the people, and
the government and every resource of
relief will be called to meet the crisis.
The army, the navy, tne state-owned
railway system and the steamship com
panies will unite in relief expeditions
by land and sea and these will be
backed by citizens' movements.

The President Is proceeding on the

Principle Treated as Settled.
From a point where doubt as to the
existence of trusts was at first ex
pressed through th period when rea
sonable and unreasonable combinations
in restraint of trade were debated he
believes there has now developed an
acceptance of the principle that private
monopolies are indefensible and that
trusts practice certain things which
ought to be prohibited. He Is expect

One of the most Important features
of thai anti-trust programme is the
Interstate trade commission. This or
ganization . differs from the kind of
commission advocated by the National
Progressive party in the last campaign
in that it would not be vested with
powers of regulation, but would be the
medium through which the Government
would keep the business- world in
formed and eliminate the "twilight
zone" in big Industry.

strated In the present Administration's
experience with the trust question. It
is contemplated to place the Commis
sioner of Corporations at the head of
the Interstate Trade Commission, but
to include in its membership business
men who would know business methods
sufficiently to conduct the necessary
inquiries and furnish the desired in
formation'. With the President's discussion of
the whole subject at today's Cabinet
meeting, the talk of "slowing up", on
the Administration programme and
postponing trust legislation until tne
December session of Congress appar
ently disappeared in executive quarters.
Administration supporters in the
House and Senate will endeavor to
push the trust reform forward to rapid
completion so as to cut short the period
of doubt as to what adjustments may
be In prospect for the business of the
country.

Portland Japanese were dumbfounded
by the news of the volcanic eruption,

troyed thousands of persons in Japan,
ana at nrst could not believe that It
was true. When the Oregon News, the
Portland Japanese newspaper, received
a short dispatch from Japan, however,
there was no room left for any doubt.
Morizo Ida, the Japanese Consul in
Portland, said last night that he did
not think any local subscription list

government at Tokia would look after
me sunerers. He himself had had no
word, beyond the fact that vessels
bearing food and clothing were sent to

Line to Territory Favored. .
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 Importance
of opening Alaska's coal supply to the
Navy was emphasized in the Senate to
day when Senator Chamberlain, of Ore
gon, resumed his argument for a bill
to provide for the construction and
operation by the Government of a rail
road in Alaska.
Senator Chamberlain asserted that if
an American fleet should be gathered
in the North Pacific It would require
enough coal that could be supplied
from the Alaskan fields more than to
Justify the building of the proposed
railroad.
"What would an American fleet be
doing there?" asked Senator Weeks.
"Why. every Senator knows that the
shortest way to the Philippines or
Japan Is through Bering Sea." the Ore
gon Senator replied, "and while I am
not a pessimist on the subject, condi
tions are known to be delicate in the
Pacific right now."
Senator Cummins interjected the sug
gestion that a Government-owned
steamship line from Pacific Coast ports
to Alaska appeared to be - a necessary
part of the plan to open Alaska s re
sources. Senator Chamberlain said he
was inclined to favor that view and
thought possibly such a measure would
be presented if the pending bill became
law. .
The question of the disposition of the
coal lands of Alaska came up today in
a bill Introduced by Senator Pittman,
of Nevada, to provide for the leasing
to private individuals one-half of the
withdrawn coal lands, the remainder

Many Indications of Opposition
to Equal Suffrage Shown by
Controlling Party.
PRESIDENT WILSCN CHILLY
Action' of League of Party leaders'
Wives In Refusing to Recognize -Move
Significant "Packed"
Committee Is Probable.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 13. The Democratic party,
as a party, has shown many Indications
of being antagonistic to the cause of
woman suffrage, and the understand
ing Is general that no legislation will
go through Congress this session ex
tending National aid to the women
who are seeking the right to Vote.
Not the least significant hostile
move In Democratic circles was the re
fusal of the Woman's National Demo
cratic League to recognize the move
ment for equal suffrage, for while this
league is in no way official and cannot
be held strictly to represent the Dem
ocratic party, the women making up
that league are for the most part
wives of Democratic members of Con
gress and other party leaders, and in
ignoring the suffrage question these
women are presumed to reflect the
views of their husbands.
Indeed, the explanation was given
that the league could not take a stand
on the suffrage question until the men
of the party had taken a positive stana.
For several months women advocat
ing equal suffrage have been appeal
ing to the Democratic leaders of the
House to create a committee on worn
an suffrage similar to a committee ere
ated long ago by the Senate, It be
ing the contention of the women that
if such a committee is created it could
handle all legislation bearing on the
subject and could give plenty of time
to hearings and to the consideration of
bills or resolutions to be presented to
the House. So heavy has been the de
mand for a woman suffrage committee
In the House that the leaders are ex
pected to make that much of a con
cession, but information from inside
sources is to the effect that the com
mlttee will be packed and that a ma
jority of its members will be men
strong in their opposition to woman
suffrage.
Under the prevailing Democratic
method of making committee assign
ments by election rather than by ap
pointment by the speaker- it would
seem to be impossible to pack a com
mittee, but the election ot committee
members is a farce and a joke to those
who understand the game. The House
leaders get together, fix up a slate,
as they will in this Instance, being
careful to. pick men whose views are
known in advance, and that slate will
then be submitted to the House, and
the slate, in turn, will be "elected- by
the Democratic majority of the House.
So that, in effect, the method pursued
will vary from the old Cannon methoa
merely in name, and in the process of
attaining a predetermined purpose.
President Wilson, it nas Deen notea
by equal suffrage advocates, has been
decidedly .chilly to women who have
sought to interest him in the suffrage
cause. Several attempts were maue 10

Long, fine wool Is Indispensable in
the weaving of Oriental knot fabrics.
The month of May Is the shearing
time. The shepherds of the East are
deft shearsmen, and are even more

The first step after the sticks and
other ' foreign substances have been
dislodged is the washing and scouring.
When cleansed of dirt and of the nat

is placed In large stone mortars and
covered with a mixture of flour and

the family, pound and mix the mass
thoroughly with wooden mallets. It
Is then taken out, placed in baskets,
